Publisher's Summary
This is the story of Jason Chaser, a talented young racer selected to attend the Race School. He's younger than the other students. He's smaller. His trusty car, the Argonaut, is older. But Jason Chaser is no ordinary racer. And as he races against the best drivers in the world he will learn that at Race School winning is everything, that not everyone in this world fights fair, and that you never ever have any friends on the track.

Fantastic
What a spectacular event of a story. It never fails to make me feel giddy following along with these scrappy little lads and their first steps into the world of professional racing in the fantastical new world the hover tech allows. It's a never-ending roar of fun as we launch from one race to the next, even the bits in between being riveting as the boys learn the ins and outs of the off-the-track portions of the racing world as well. One of Reilly's very best, and I hope to god someone finally makes a movie or series out of it soon. It would be a whirl to watch these moments play out on the big screen.

Loved it
I really loved this book I only read a little of the book years when I was in school, but I’m not a big reader of big novels unlike graphic novels but I am glad that I got a audio book and I just sat though the whole way through from start to end, I just love the whole thing and all the characters the good and the bad, wish there was more of it. Matthew Reilly is my favourite writer and will listen to all of his books and buy them as soon as I can. And to Matthew Reilly thank you for you’re hard work with not just this book but with all the ones you have written and the ones you will write. The next one is The Great Zoo Of China.

Really enjoyable story
This is a Really enjoyable story that is also a good clean read as well. You can comfortably recommend this to children to read and know that there are no sex scenes and minimal violence.
I especially love all the little bits of Australiana that pop up in the story.
It's is near future sci-if that is so similar to our current world that it doesn't take much imagination to immerse yourself in it.
The other feature I like about it, is that it has like mini stories within the whole story. One mini story comes to and end and I am thinking, "that was great but I'm not ready for the whole story to end." Then it rolls seamlessly into the next mini story, perfect!

Great for all ages
I loved reading this book myself when it first came out, when I saw it on Audible I had to get it. The narration was great, I so easily became lost in the story that the narration just felt natural.
My 10year old also loved listening to this. It has 1 or 2 ‘naughty words’, but well within context.
Will definitely listen to it again.
